Maths: Transformation Artwork

L.I: to create a piece of art using: rotation, translation, and reflection.

This week for maths, our must do was to create a piece of mathematical artwork. Since we planned out our artwork last week (On This Post), it was now time to create the piece of art. As I wrote on my maths blogpost from last week, we needed to chose what colours we would use, mine being red, green, and blue. My design I chose was a Koru design, with translation at the top, rotation in the middle, and reflection at the bottom of my art. One thing that we needed, was for each colour to have 2 light colours on dark, and 1 dark colour on light. Our artwork was done with, paint, dye (With crayon), and Pastels.

Maths: Mathematical Transformation Artwork

L.I: to create a piece of art using rotation, translation, and reflection.

This week for maths, we had to create a plan for a piece of mathematical artwork. Next week we will be creating this artwork, but for this week, planning was our goal. We needed to involve rotation, translation, and reflection in our artwork, using a design of our choice. We also needed to chose what colours we would use, mine being red, green, and blue. My design I chose was a Koru design, with translation at the top, rotation in the middle, and reflection at the bottom of my art. One thing that we needed, was for each colour to have 2 light colours on dark, and 1 dark colour on light. Our pattern design needed to go, for example, 1 green in a corner, one red in the opposite corner, two reds closest to the green, two greens closest to the red, and three blues going through the middle.

Maths: Transforming Shapes

L.I: To transform shapes using reflection, rotation and translation.

This week for maths, we learnt about transformations, and how they effect a shape. Our lesson was to understand how to translate a shape, reflect a shape, and rotate a shape. Our must do was to make a grid with a vertical and horizontal axes, and show an original shape that's been translated, reflected, and rotated 90° clockwise. Then for a second activity, we had to make either a video, presentation, or graphic showing how to translate a shape. I chose to do a video, and in my video I demonstrated how you would translate three shapes, and I think I did a pretty good job of doing so.
